Episode 1
Queen of the Fairies
12 mins
It's silly sports day. Lucy, who is dressed like a fairy, doesn't want to try any of the silly sports because she's unfamiliar with them and says "no" whenever Mr. Anthony asks her if she want to try this one or that one. Her fear is making her feel all crunchy and tight inside. To make her feel less crunchy, Mr. Anthony shows her how to do the "no" shake to shake all the no's inside of her out. It helps make her feel less crunchy, but doesn't make her any less afraid to try the sports. So Mr. Anthony tells Lucy a Napkin Man story, about the time he helped a little fairy girl like her named Lissy get ready for the fairy festival. Lady Fifi, who runs the festival, announces a Queen of the festival every year, this year it being the most helpful of the fairies, Lissy. However, Lissy, who is unfamiliar with the spells to choose from for all the fairies to use in the festival, says no to them all in her fear of the unknown. Lissy saying no to everything jeopardizes the festival being able to go ahead.
